Consequence of being bored

I'm still recovering from the accident related injuries, but I started working remotely. You know,  I reached the stage where I'm good enough to be bored, but not fully recovered to continue as normal.
So, first, pets love the fact that now there is someone all the time with them.  Here you can see Schroedy seeking extra attention by jumping on the chair where I set up my 'home office'.





I also got a crazy tomato plant to take care off. Our neighbor who is heavily into gardening  decided to show me how plants can be grown from cuts. So she gave me a cut from tomato plant. I did what she advised me to do, and wee cut developed roots, so I put it in a pot. And lo and behold, it started to grow fruit!
I still cannot believe. In a way I really do not know what to do, for tomato to properly grow fruit one needs to make sure that temperatures do not go below freezing, and here it freezes already. I'll try to keep it inside, but then, what about wee fruit?
Actually this photo is wee bit older, in it, wee tomatoes are size of raisins, while today they are more size of Maltezers, or for non-UK people,  larger grapes. Now I really wonder what will happen with  wee tomato-fruits.



The third photo is my attempt on making a decorative wreath from burlap. It is something that did not task my health, and it ended up looking rather nice. I'm proud of myself. :-)
Although the design is actually a 'remix' of something I've seen at Joann website that costs whole 40-50 dollars. Mine cost me around  $10 and one hour of work. :-)

  1. The pets love having you around, and so does the blogosphere!
    Now I'm not on Facebook, I only see you and several other pals here. (I feel much saner off FB. Last time I looked--at a friend's page---there were even MORE ads on it! Yuck.)
    Your kitty looks so well!
    And your Halloween door decoration is fun!
    I guess you could pickle your little green tomatoes? Save them for Christmas dinner?

  2. Yeah, they do. Especially because I cannot resist the sad eyes stares they give me. So I'm giving them way more treats than my husband. It came to the point that when I enter kitchen all of them come and line up with heads up staring at me. When my husband enters the kitchen they do not react :-)
    I might try to pickle those tomatoes. After all, those are the only green tomatoes I can get my hands on. :-D Thanks for an idea!
